Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Trim the aubergine, then cut into roughly 3cm pieces.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain and rinse the chickpeas in a sieve.
Roughly chop the coriander (stalks and all).
Pop the aubergine onto a large baking tray.
Drizzle with oil, then season with salt, pepper and the curry powder. Toss to coat, then spread out in a single layer.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until the aubergine is soft and golden, 20-25 mins. Turn halfway through.
While the aubergine roasts, heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil).
Once hot, add the desiccated coconut and cook, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 1-2 mins. TIP: Watch it like a hawk as it can burn easily.
Once toasted, transfer to a bowl.
Pop the (now empty) frying pan back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the rogan josh curry paste and half the garlic. Stir and cook for 1 min.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, veg stock paste, chickpeas, sugar and water for the curry (see pantry for both amounts). Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 10-15 mins.
When the curry is almost ready, pop the naans on a baking tray.
Drizzle with oil and scatter over the remaining garlic and a quarter of the coriander. Pop them into the oven to warm through, 2-3 mins.
Stir the roasted aubergine and remaining coriander into the curry. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
When ready, serve the aubergine curry in bowls.
Top with a dollop of yoghurt and a sprinkle of desiccated coconut.
Serve the naan breads alongside for dipping and scooping.
Enjoy!
